Facebook is in a deadlock after the recent crash. Especially after the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018, the trust of Facebook users was greatly damaged. He used Facebook’s data to influence the election results, and later this event had a great impact all over the world.
After all these events, Mark Zurkerberg, who quickly depleted his credit both in the eyes of users and in the company, is rapidly moving towards the bottom of his reputation with his name being involved in the Cambridge Analytica case.
Difficult days await Zuckerberg.
The lawsuit, filed in 2018, was filed against the executives and employees of Cambridge Analytica, who manipulated people using data from Facebook. Chief Prosecutor AG Karl A. Racine, who is handling the case, announced on his Twitter account that the name of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was also added to the case as a ‘defendant’.
Explaining that hundreds of pages of information and documents about Zuckerberg, who was added as a suspect, were added to the case file, the attorney general said that former Facebook employees and some people within the company also provided information against Zuckerberg.
Main focus on Cambridge Analytica Scandal
Saying that the main focus of the court was the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018, Attorney General Racine said that the company accessed the profiles of more than 90 million Facebook users and used them for political purposes. Saying that Facebook was aware of this situation and may even have helped the company, Racine explained that he included the founder of Facebook in the case as a defendant for using this system in bad faith.
Facebook, on the other hand, said, “The events mentioned in the case took place about 3 years ago, when we filled out our complaint form. We will continue to defend ourselves fiercely and continue to focus on the facts,” he denied the accusations against him.
